Great; this sounds like a book I'd like to have.

Internet gateway with firewall. This is something I have done a few
times (at home and for my previous and my current employer). Things
like split DNS, IP filtering, NAT, mail relaying to an internal mail
server, etc. were not easy when I did it the first time, and can
probably be done better than I have done. (Of course I am willing to 
share my experiences.)

Mail configuration. Not a rewrite of the bat book, but perhaps some
sendmail examples (with pointers into the bat book, of course). Some
information about other MTAs (Postfix, Exim, Qmail).

Kernel configuration. Again, I have done this often, but I am sure
that there is a lot more to learn.

Differences between the BSDs. *Factual* differences, no flame bait.
